This is cookie. Cookie is a baby penguin who lives at the Cincinatti zoo who has a "bumble foot". His little foot is bandaged and he needs to exercise it every day. Cookie likes to be tickled as you can see in this video. Listen to the happy noises he makes. He tries to sound like the man tickling him.

I think Cookie is very cute.. Do you? Let's watch the video again and tickle someone you love. Love Grandma-ma.

Did you yank it out? Did it fall out? Did daddy help you pull it out? Please tell us how you lost your first tooth sweet girl. Did you put your tooth under your pillow in hopes that the tooth fairy left you some money?

My favorite summertime picture of you my 5-cheese ravioli. How much fun we had swimming in the pool chasing down diamonds. Hugs and kisses to you. Grandma-ma

Hello my raviolis. Grandma-ma had her third appointment with the dentist. It is now 63 days since I first had my braces put on my teeth. Look how much they have moved in just 63 days.

Look how straight the wires are becoming. Grandma-ma is very pleased with the results. Now, if you look at the next two photos you can really see how much grandma-ma's teeth have moved. I think this is amazing, don't you?

Can you see the differences between the new photo and these two? What are the differences?

Here is the first photo of the day my braces were put on. WOW are those wires crooked. It is really neat the way this process is working to fix grandma-ma's teeth. She still has to be careful with what she eats and the inside of my mouth can get sore at times. But it will be worth it to have a pretty smile and healthy teeth.

you make tea time lots of fun. Rubber Ducky I'm so awfully fond of you! Good morning my Friday raviolis. Grandma-ma is a happy gal, she has a new tea toy to play with. It's a rubber ducky tea infuser. A tea infuser holds tea leaves that you drop in a hot cup of water to make tea.

How cute is my new tea ducky?

Look, he has a little duck pond to sit in when he isn't brewing tea for grandma-ma.

Here is the basket that I can put a teabag or tea leaves in.

Grandma-ma just dropped him in the hot water. He is getting ready to right himself up so he can brew tea for me.

Click on this video to watch my tea ducky float in my tea cup.

Okay, now everbody sing...rubber ducky, you're the one. You make tea time lots of fun. Rubber Ducky, I'm so awfully fond of you.

Hugs and kisses and rubber ducky squeezes to all of you. Love grandma-ma

Hello my raviolis. As you know, Flat Stanley came to visit grandma-ma and grampy and we had a wonderful time. He went antiquing, he visited Cisco and Mizuno, he went swimming and he had a pedicure. He even visited the Varsity...Atlanta's favorite fast food restaurant.

Grandma-ma put all of his adventures in a scrap album and has mailed it off to Mrs. Hazel as she requested. It should arrive at school in a few days.

I can't wait to hear how Kaitlyn's class enjoy reading about Flat Stanley's adventures in Atlanta.

Why Raviolis?

I have always called my grand-daughter my little, three cheese ravioli (EIGHT cheese now, as she has requested upon turning eight). More raviolis are showing up much to my delight and joy. When asked why I call my grandchildren raviolis, I say it is because they are little hot pockets of goodness...just like raviolis. And everybody loves raviolis!

Raviolis for lunch is for my grandchildren

and I miss you all. This blog is created for each and every one of you, my little raviolis. This is grandma-ma's way of saying that she loves you and misses you and until I can squeeze the little hot pockets of goodness out of you when I see you next, perhaps you will stop by this blog created just for you. Hugs and kisses and lots of giggles to all of you...with loads of love - Grandma-ma.
